There needs to be a .treeinfo file in the directory for us to be
able to create a distribution. Usually it should be at the same
level as where the repodata is.

If I point it to the
Server directory that contains the repodata directory

create any trees and I do not get a distribution list that
I can kickstart from. What am I missing?

Make sure your file path is pointing to the dir where repodata
is found. Error indicates that there is no repodata dir under
/var/tmp/rh5u7-base/ .

I've banged my head on this for a few days now
and have thrown in the towel. From a rhel6 box running
pulp 254-8 I'm getting the following error when
attempting to sync a repo using the rhel5.7 iso or a
folder that is a copy of the iso. I can sync it from
the copy if I run a create repo from the base directory
but run into a "Cannot retrieve metadata (repomd.xml)"
error during the ks build.
